Display pointing device provided for correlating display cursor locations to physical locations pointed by the display pointing device

A computerized physical-location-print control system comprising:

• a computer-provided for generating a display cursor and printing output signals;
• a display pointing control device including an arrow-shaped physical location pointer for pointing to physical locations;
• said display pointing control device further includes a means for generating physical location signals corresponding to physical locations pointed by said physical location pointer;
• said display pointing control device further includes a computer interface means for connecting to said computer for transmitting said physical location signals thereto;
• said display pointing control device further includes a movement detection means having a first and a second rotation balls rigidly attached to and moving together with said physical location pointer for detecting a movement of said display pointing device for generating a display pointing device movement signal;
• and said computer further includes a means for interfacing with said display pointing control device for processing said physical location signals and said display point device movement signal from said computer interface means for controlling and moving said display cursor and for recording and correlating cursor locations corresponding to designated physical locations pointed by said physical location pointer thus generating said printing output signal at said designated physical locations.

A method for correlating a physical movement of a computer display pointing device to a display cursor movement controlled by said display pointing device, said method comprising steps of:

• (a) providing an arrow-shaped physical location pointer to said computer display pointing device for pointing to physical locations;
• (b) providing a means for generating physical location signals by containing two rotation balls therein and rigidly attaching said means for generating physical location signals to said physical location pointer for moving and rotating said two rotation balls together with said physical location pointer and useful for recording and correlating cursor locations corresponding to physical locations pointed by said physical location pointer;
• and
• (c) correlating said cursor locations with said physical locations.

A method for correlating a physical movement of a computer mouse display pointing device to a display cursor movement controlled by said display pointing device, said method comprising steps of:

• (a) providing an arrow-shaped physical location pointer to said computer display pointing device for pointing to physical locations;
• (b) providing a means for generating physical location signals by containing a two-dimensional total-self-movement-measuring displacement-detecting means in said pointing device for moving together with said physical location pointer for measuring a two-dimensional displacement in generating said physical location signals correlating to a physical motion of said physical location pointer;
• and
• (c) correlating said cursor locations with said physical locations.
